From Wikipedia:

Worth County Courthouse in Northwood, Iowa was built in 1893 in a Romanesque style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1981.

According to a plaque on the courthouse, it was the subject of a Works Progress Administration project in 1938; however, I was unable to locate any specific information about what type of project this was.
